Note 1 - Business Organization and Nature of Operations
CohBar, Inc. ("CohBar," "its" or the "Company") is a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on the research and development of mitochondria based therapeutics ("MBTs"), an emerging class of drugs for the treatment of chronic and age-related diseases including nonalcoholic steatohepatitis ("NASH"), obesity, cancer, fibrotic diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) including COVID-19 associated ARDS, type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.
The Company's primary activities include the research and development of its MBT pipeline, securing intellectual property protection for its discoveries and assets, managing collaborations with contract research organizations ("CROs") and academic institutions and raising capital. To date, the Company has not generated any revenues from operations and does not expect to generate any revenues in the near future. The Company has financed its operations primarily with proceeds from sales of its equity securities, private placements, the exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options and the issuance of debt instruments.
The Company is monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic, which continues to rapidly evolve, and has taken steps to mitigate the potential impacts on its business. The extent to which the outbreak may impact the Company's business, preclinical studies and further delay its clinical trial will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence such as what CohBar experienced recently with the pause in the clinical study. The Company has modified its business practices, including implementing a work from home policy for all employees and restricting nonessential travel. The Company expects to continue to take actions that are in the best interests of our employees and business partners. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, the Company's visibility into the duration of these actions is limited.
The unaudited interim condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). They do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "2019 Form 10-K"), filed with the SEC on March 12, 2020. The interim unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with those audited financial statements included in the 2019 Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020, or any other period. |
